FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel GPR119 agonists that are useful in the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus (type I and type II), and related disorders, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods of preparation thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Diabetes is a life-style related disease derived from multiple causative factors. It is characterized by elevated levels of plasma glucose (hyperglycemia) in the fasting state or after administration of glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test. There are two generally recognized forms of diabetes: type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), patients produce little or no insulin, the hormone which regulates glucose utilization. In type 2 diabetes, or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM), insulin is still produced in the body, and patients demonstrate resistance to the effects of insulin in stimulating glucose and lipid metabolism in the main insulin-sensitive tissues, namely, muscle, liver and adipose tissue. These patients often have normal levels of insulin, and may have hyperinsulinemia (elevated plasma insulin levels), as they compensate for the reduced effectiveness of insulin by secreting increased amounts of insulin.

The treatment of T2DM generally begins with weight loss, healthy diet and exercise program. Although these factors are important especially to resolve the increased risk of cardiovascular disorders related to diabetes mellitus, they are not generally effective for control of diabetes mellitus itself. There are many drugs useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, acarbose, thiazolidinediones, GLP-1 analogue and DPP IV inhibitors. There are, however deficiencies associated with currently available treatment, including hypoglycemic episodes, weight gain, loss in responsiveness to therapy over time, gastrointestinal problems, and edema.

Although number of receptor classes exist in humans, the most abundant and therapeutically relevant is G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) class, it is estimated that approximately 4% of the protein-coding genome encodes GPCRs. GPCRs are also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors as they share a common structural motif, having seven sequences of between 22 to 24 hydrophobic amino acids that form seven alpha helices, each of which spans the membrane. Further, there has been renewed focus on pancreatic islet-based insulin secretion that is controlled by glucose-dependent insulin secretion (GDIS). GPR119 is a cell-surface GPCR that is highly expressed in human (and rodent) islets as well as in insulin-secreting cell lines. Activation of GPR119 stimulate intracellular cAMP leading to glucose dependent GLP-1 and insulin secretion (T.Soga et al Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2005, 326). Synthetic GPR119 agonists augment the release of insulin from isolated static mouse islets only under conditions of elevated glucose, and improve glucose tolerance in diabetic mice and diet-induced obese (DIO) C57/B6 mice without causing hypoglycemia.

There still remains a need for alternative novel synthetic compounds which acts as GPR119 agonists and are useful in the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus (type I and type II), obesity and related disorders.

Cells were treated with various concentrations of the test compound for 60 min at room temperature. Cells were lysed by buffer containing Anti-cAMP antibody and d2-cAMP reagents and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. HTRF was measured at 337 nm excitation and emission wavelengths of 665 nm and 620 nm on a microplate reader (Flurostar, BMG Labtech). GraphPad prism 6 software was utilized for EC50 determinations.

Representative compounds of the invention were found to increase cAMP at an EC50 of less than 10 μM. Compounds showing an EC50 of less than 1 μM in the cAMP assay may be preferred.

Insulin Secretion Assay:

HIT-T15 cells were utilised for assessment of potentiation of glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by test compounds. Cells were seeded at a cell density of 50,000 cells per well in 96 well plate. After 48 hours, cells were washed with Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate buffer (KRB) and incubated with buffer containing 0.2 mM glucose for 30 minutes. After incubating cells twice in KRB buffer containing 0.2 mM glucose, cells were exposed to 11 mM glucose and test compounds at 10 μM and 1 μM for 1 hour. Supernatants were collected for measurement of insulin secreted from the cells. Insulin was measured using Cisbio insulin test kit following manufacturer's instructions, with a standard curve of known insulin concentrations. For each well, insulin levels are corrected by subtraction of the basal secretion level from the preincubation in the absence of glucose. Data is analysed using GraphPad prism 6 software. Representative compounds of the invention were studied for their insulin potentiation capacity and showed increase in insulin secretion at an EC50 of less than 10 μM, however the compounds showing increase in insulin secretion at an EC50 of less than 1 μM may be preferred.

Example 39: Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Male C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks) were grouped based on basal glucose levels and animals were fasted for 16 hours. Glucose level of each animal was estimated in blood collected from tail vein before animals were dosed orally with 0.5% Tween 80 and 0.5% NaCMC (vehicle control) and compounds at 3 and 10 mpk (n=5). After 30 minutes of compound dosing, blood glucose was again estimated and 2 g/kg/10 ml (20%) of Glucose solution was administered orally to all the animals. Blood glucose was estimated at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes time points after glucose administration. Accu-Check active blood glucose meter was utilised for estimation of blood from tail vein.

Example 41: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Secretion

To study the effect of GPR119 agonists on secretion of GLP-1 in C57BL/6 mice, animals were grouped based on basal glucose levels and fasted for 16 hours. Animals were dosed orally with vehicle or test compound at 10 mpk (n=20). After 30 minutes of compound dosing, ten animals were sacrificed from each group and blood was collected by cardiac puncture method. To the remaining 10 animals in each group, glucose, 3 g/kg, was administered. After ten minutes of glucose administration, animals were sacrificed by CO₂ asphyxiation method and blood was collected by cardiac puncture method. To avoid degradation of active GLP-1 in blood, DPP-IV inhibitor was added to the blood collection tubes. Plasma active GLP-1 levels were measured by using Merck Millipore ELISA kit. Statistical comparisons of the data were performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Bonferroni's test.
